Welcome to our Tenth StreetWise Challenge Showcase ‘Lines in the Street.’ We are thrilled to share it with you!

Thank you so much for participating and sharing your wonderful photographs. Lee and I were delighted by all the beautiful submissions to this fun challenge. Lines denote so many things in photography, boundary, edge, or contour — it is the agent for energy and movement and it was wonderful to see the many ways in which people incorporated lines in their photographs

As always, Lee and I hope you enjoy the showcase as much as we enjoyed putting it together.

As a reminder, we choose images for the showcase that are in keeping with our group’s intention and guidelines focusing on the key aspects of street photography composition, timing, juxtaposition, catching the decisive moment rather than relying too much on apping. or images that are more art-oriented or painterly.

If you are a mobile street photographer, please consider joining our growing community.

To those new to our street photography community, welcome – it is great to have you join us!

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to our Ninth StreetWise Challenge Showcase ‘Animals in the Street.’ We are thrilled to share it with you!

Thank you so much for participating and sharing your wonderful photographs. Lee and I were delighted by all the beautiful submissions to this fun challenge. It was particularly fascinating for us to see how animals interact with us and in the streets in neighbourhoods from around the world.

As always, Lee and I hope you enjoy the showcase as much as we enjoyed putting it together.

A reminder — we choose images for the showcase that are in keeping with our group intention and guidelines “We believe that it is important to focus on the key aspects of street photography composition, timing, juxtaposition, catching the decisive moment rather than relying on too much apping. We therefore feel that apping should be kept to a minimum cropping, tweaking exposure, colour, adding a grain or texture is okay, but we would like to see you steer away from overly app’ed images that are more art oriented or painterly.”

Welcome to our fourth StreetWise Challenge Showcase ‘Connecting’ We are thrilled to share it with you!

The reason we chose this theme was to inspire images from and of people around the world ‘connecting’ illustrating ways in which we connect to each other. We thought this would be powerful and uplifting, and foster that feeling of community in our group.

Thank you so much for participating and sharing your beautiful photographs of how you see people connecting where you live. We were moved by all of the wonderful, inspiring ways this group rose to this challenge — and it was also nice to see some new faces, too, adding ever more dimension to this creative group. As always, Lee and I hope you enjoy this showcase as much as we enjoyed putting it together.

Many congratulations to the following artists for being featured in this showcase including:

Thank you so much for participating and rising to the occasion to inspire us once again with your photographs. We hope you enjoy the showcase as much as we enjoyed putting it together!

“There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment.” Robert Frank

We were thrilled and particularly moved by your photos submitted to our StreetWise Flickr group and chose images for the showcase that are in keeping with our group’s intention and guidelines “We believe that it is important to focus on the key aspects of street photography composition, timing, juxtaposition, catching the decisive moment rather than relying on too much aping. We therefore feel that aping should be kept to a minimum cropping, tweaking exposure, colour, adding a grain or texture is ok but we would like to see you steer away from overly app’ed images that are more art-oriented or painterly.”

Thank you so much for participating and inspiring us with your images once again, it was difficult to choose only a relatively few images from all those that were submitted.

We hope you enjoy viewing the showcase as much as we enjoyed putting it together!
